What is NAIO™?

NAIO™ is a somatic journey into deep awareness, guided by light touch and meditative presence. As I offer gentle touch, we enter a shared field of awareness, allowing your body’s natural flow to emerge effortlessly.

Rooted in the ancient Greek ideal of Eudaimonia—a life of flourishing, harmony, and profound well-being—NAIO™ invites you to explore states of heightened clarity, expanded perception, and deep integration.

What can I expect from a session?

You’ll remain fully clothed, resting comfortably on a table as we begin. As the session unfolds, you may enter Open Flow, where time feels fluid and newfound creativity, clarity, and precision arise. You might slip into Open Experience, where the usual boundaries of perception soften, revealing a rich inner landscape of sensations, emotions, and insight. Or you may arrive in Sacred Ground, where the self dissolves into a vast, infinite presence.

Throughout this journey, my gentle touch serves as a subtle anchor, allowing you to explore freely while remaining deeply supported. As the session comes to a close, I’ll guide you back—grounded, integrated, and attuned to the resonance of your experience, carrying its clarity into your daily life.

Are you sending me energy?

No. NAIO™ practitioners do not direct or manipulate energy in any way. We are trained only to listen with our hands. This supports clients in having full self-agency and in attuning to their own inner flow.

Is NAIO™ a medical treatment or massage therapy?

No. It is a somatic awareness practice using gentle, light touch. The State of California does not license NAIO™ practitioners.

How many sessions will I need?

Every client’s journey is unique. It may take 10 or more sessions before some of the NAIO™ states emerge, while others may experience them sooner—or not at all. No state is better than another; all are part of the same dynamic wholeness. Some clients choose to adopt NAIO™ as a regular practice.
